MARK MASRI

As a masterful songwriter, pianist, vocalist and producer, Mark is a man with the talent and passion to affect people. His music transcends generations with expressive lyrics, lush vocals and elegant delivery. With comparisons to Luther Vandross, Seal and The Winans, Masri is carving out a name for himself as a soulful musician with timeless appeal.

The foundation of Mark’s artistry digs deep into his childhood influences when he began singing in his father’s church. Mark’s talent was considered way beyond his years, and he was immediately embraced by the gospel community. In 2000, Mark released his debut self-titled album Mark Masri, which garnered a Juno nomination for “Best Gospel Record.” 

Early 2008, Mark’s album See My Face marked a musical maturation that celebrated the full range of his talents. With songwriting credits on eight of the eleven tracks, Mark explored the power of human emotions including love, loss and everything in between. Recorded with the Los Angeles Orchestra, the record has been said to blend majestic quality with intimate charm.

Other more recent career highlights for Masri include a Canadian Music Award nomination, a RyanDan(Universal Music) cover of his song “The Face” on ‘So You Think You Can Dance Canada’, and the release of his much anticipated Christmas album.  The holiday favorite features a highly acclaimed duet with Olivia Newton-John and special guest appearance by piano sensation, Jim Brickman, and EMI recording artist, Amy Sky.  Mark’s holiday single, “Christmas Is”, debuted at #4 on the R&R US Billboard Charts and remained Top 20 for 6 weeks.  If that’s not enough, Todd Eldredge, six time National/World Ice Skating Champion, performed a routine to Masri’s single on an NBC holiday special in December.  The undeniable momentum carried Mark onto a 30-city US tour with Brickman, wowing audiences night after night.
